protesting idiocy

Any New York bloggers up for a little protest?

Thierry Meyssan is coming to town. You remember Mr. Meyssan. He's the flaming French asshole who wrote 9-11, The Big Lie, in which he claims that the September 11, 2001 attacks on the WTC were concocted by the government and that an American missile, not a plane, hit the Pentagon.

Our little French friends made the book a best seller over there for three months.

Meyssan, an activist with his own left-wing association called the “Voltaire Network,” says he did not actually travel to the United States to investigate his theories, but had researchers working for him. He said much of his book is based on public documents, newspaper articles and the Internet.

Sounds like his references was Ted Rall, Michael Moore and a bunch of conspiracy sites. I'm willing to bet more than a handful of Indymedia trolls will be there applauding this cretin.

Damn, I wish I lived up there. I've got a back yard full of rotten oranges. (They are 'native' Florida stock, bitter as hell. I use them for sauces or marinade sometimes, but they are useless for eating or making orange juice.)

Nice and pulpy though, and nicely covered in green mold... just like his mind.

Here's a far better suggestion. Invite some NYC firemen and police and everyone else, and when the idiot begins to blather, turn your backs and walk out. The picture will be worth more than a thousand words. It's what Americans do. We refuse to listen to BS.

Ahh, if only I lived closer... and didn't have work and school... and thought my car would make it from Colo to NYC... plans are underway for a suborbital rotten tomato launcher, however. If I could just get that targeting system from VRWC HQ, I could make it happen. BOOM! Splat! HEH heh. OOH! here's an idea... get some of them Green Bay Packer Cheesehead hats and stick little French flags in 'em, make sure you get up close and start singing our national anthem REALLY LOUD! With the surrender cheese monkey signs and the white flags of course!

Um, just a thought for the righties in the audience...do you realize this guy actually helps your cause? I'm a lefty, and I'm embarrassed that this guy is getting media attention for his conspiracy theories when plenty of legitimate leftist concerns aren't. But, since he IS getting the attention, it'll reflect on the left as a whole and make us look even more addle-brained (not that we've needed much help lately), and so help the right look more sensible than us.

Just a thought. But yeah, the ignoring idea sounds best. The guy doesn't deserve the attention of either side.
